What the Tentative Title family covers

Tentative Title covers 2 title codes arranged into 2 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

This family does not sit cleanly in one occupational group. New Jersey's classification plan carries a long tail of titles created for a specific program, a specific facility or a single consolidated local post, and they keep their own codes even when only one position exists. Reading the individual specifications below is the fastest way to see what the work actually is, since the family name alone will not tell you.

How the pay is set

No state salary schedule applies here, because these are local titles. Pay is set by each adopting county, municipality or authority under its own ordinance or negotiated agreement, so two employers using the same title code can pay very differently. How local civil service pay works.

Where these jobs exist

These are state titles, hired by New Jersey departments, commissions and boards through the Civil Service Commission's announcement and eligible list process rather than by an ordinary job posting. How state hiring works, and which agencies employ what.
